Description james Whitby 2021-03-14 02:44:58 CET 
On boot/reboot vnstat fails to start from systemd.
Restart after boot, works fine.

From CLI:
### A few minutes after reboot.

Comment 1 Dave Hodgins 2021-03-14 05:12:20 CET 
This one is strange. I have vnstat and vnstatd both running ok.
The file /run/vnstat/vnstat.pid does not exist, nor the directory /run/vnstat.

Did you install vnstat manually or was it added by selecting monitoring
of the interface in mcc?

If the latter then this is a duplicate of bug 15961 which is being worked on.

If the former, I have no idea how to debug this. Once enabled, its working
on my system. The directory/file /run/vnstat/vnstat.pid does not exist with
it working.

I didn't do anything except upgrade from 7.
Comment 3 Nicolas Nicolas 2021-03-14 08:48:17 CET 
Hello,

I might have think it can be a duplicate of bug https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28576 , but the error message is not the same.

Maybe you can try the package in updates testing ?

I think you meant bug 15691 (re network accounting).

Thank you for the prompt feedback. And to Nicolas Nicolas for the update pointer.
